A Thursday night school bus wreck in Clemson sent three people to the hospital, according to Police Chief Jimmy Dixon.

Dixon said an Oconee County schools bus transporting athletes triggered the collision as it tried to make its way through the intersection of U.S. 76 and U.S. 123 around 9:30 p.m.

"It appears the bus collided with the rear of a vehicle in front of the bus, which then pushed that vehicle into another vehicle," Dixon stated in a news release.

Dixon said two students on the bus and a driver of the one of the other vehicles were transported to a local hospital, but that none of injuries were life-threatening.

School District of Oconee County spokeswoman Sharon Sanders said Friday the bus was carrying Walhalla Middle School volleyball players and coaches, as well as the driver.

"Two students were transported to the hospital for precautionary reasons," Sanders said. "One was released about 3 a.m. ... the second student (also) went home last night, we just confirmed. And all is well."

Clemson police are still investigating the wreck, but Dixon said it looked like a straightforward traffic incident.
